Thread subject: Diptera.info :: diptera larvae -> Cylindrotoma distinctissima

Hello John,

thank you for your answer. I don't have any literature here, but I think you spoke of the Cylindrotomidae with the four genera Cylindrotoma, Diogma, Phalacrocera and Triogma. Two of them are aquatic, so two remain for my larva, but I don't know wich.

The larva now lives in a box in my kitchen. Do you know if there is anything special to look for when growing it? Up to this point it readily feeds on the plant I brought with me. Are these species more polyphagous or monophagous?

Greetings,
Michael
